Overview of this book

The world is moving away from bulky, unreliable, and high-maintenance PHP applications, to small, easy-to-maintain and highly available microservices and the pressing need is for PHP developers to understand the criticalities in building effective microservices that scale at large. This book will be a reliable resource, and one that will help you to develop your skills and teach you techniques for building reliable microservices in PHP. The book begins with an introduction to the world of microservices, and quickly shows you how to set up a development environment and build a basic platform using Docker and Vagrant. You will then get into the different design aspects to be considered while building microservices in your favorite framework and you will explore topics such as testing, securing, and deploying microservices. You will also understand how to migrate a monolithic application to the microservice architecture while keeping scalability and best practices in mind. Furthermore you will get into a few important DevOps techniques that will help you progress on to more complex domains such as native cloud development, as well as some interesting design patterns. By the end of this book you will be able to develop applications based on microservices in an organized and efficient way. You will also gain the knowledge to transform any monolithic applications into microservices.

It is very important that your provider knows things such as read/write number per second, where the users are from if there are concurrent users, how your deploy scripts work, or what your development, staging, and production environments are like.

  • Where is my data: The Cloud servers are located somewhere, so it is important to know where they are because if you store customers' data, the law may not allow you to store data in some countries.

  • Security: If your application is not secure, you are at risk all the time, so it is good to know what protection systems your Cloud provider has, such as firewalls or how they isolate the hardware, in order to avoid intrusions and...
